Like it or not, Payton choked. Yeah, it sucks for all us Saints fans, but he choked. He fell back into his I'm smarter than anyone rather than just K.I.S.S. and keep pounding it till we scored...

But he's got tenure for life with this franchise and either he ups his game or we're gonna have another decade of 80s Don Shula mediocrity...[/B]

Sean Payton will need to change it up offensively ... specifically in the POST SEASON. The good teams have caught on to what we do offensively. You can't go through Brees (defenses don't respect anything past 20 yards) anymore to win it all.

Balance.

IMO things won't change much while #9 is under center; maybe adding a real #2 WR open things up a little but you need an effective run game.

Hopefully the Saints target a MOBILE QB in the draft. He doesn't have to be Lamar J but a kid who can move the chains with his feet on occasion. Vikes & Zimmers defense knew that was something they didn't have to worry about.

But back on topic, L Train still had a nice season with the carries he was given in 2019.
